After growing up in front of the world as some of the earliest content creators, global internet sensations Jake and Logan Paul are venturing into a brand-new arena: reality TV. Two of the biggest athletes in sports entertainment, the Pauls’ burgeoning empire includes over 150 million followers, a game-changing fight promotion company, a fast-growing sports drink brand, a disruptive sports gaming and media company, a record-breaking men’s personal care line, and WWE championships. For two decades, the Pauls’ lives have been incredibly public yet highly curated through an internet lens. Now, with unparalleled access to the Paul family and their inner circle, Paul American peels back the curtain on the most raw, honest, and intimate moments in the brothers’ over-the-top, high-octane lives.
Nina Rosenstein, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Late Night and Specials:

“Everyone thinks they know Jake and Logan Paul – they’re the original superstars of influencer culture and built their brand on being unfiltered. But PAUL AMERICAN goes deeper. This show uncovers a side of their relationships we’ve never seen, as brothers, sons, partners, as well as Logan’s transition into fatherhood. It’s a raw and unexpected look into their world.”

Jake and Logan Paul:

“We’ve built our lives in front of the world, but PAUL AMERICAN is the raw, unfiltered truth behind everything you think you know about us. It isn’t just about the headlines or the viral moments – it’s about the journey that got us here. For the first time, our fans will get to see the real people who shape our lives: our mom, dad, Jutta, Nina, and everyone else in our inner circle. As athletes, we’ve poured everything into proving ourselves in the ring and breaking barriers in sports, entertainment, and beyond. But at the core of it all is family and the relationships that keep us grounded. This series dives into the moments that define us and the bonds that make us unstoppable. The good, the bad, and the ugly. It’s real and honest, showing the world a side of us they’ve never seen, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this story with our fans.”

Rising to fame on YouTube, Paul built a reputation for his brash, unapologetic persona, earning him the nickname “The Problem Child.” In 2020, he left behind the digital influencer world to pursue professional boxing, relocating to Puerto Rico to fully dedicate himself to the sport. After competing in three professional fights and headlining his first pay-per-view event in April 2021, Paul co-founded Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) with Nakisa Bidarian, aiming to give fighters greater creative control over their careers. His commitment extends beyond his own career, as he and MVP actively promote women’s boxing and rising talent through initiatives like the Most Valuable Prospects series. Recognized for his impact, Paul was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s “50 Most Influential Figures in Sports” issue in 2023, credited for revolutionizing the sport by advocating for equitable pay and creating platforms for young fighters.

In November 2024, he headlined a historic bout against Mike Tyson, streamed live on Netflix, becoming the most-streamed sporting event ever with 108 million live viewers. The fight peaked at 65 million concurrent streams worldwide, dominated social media trends, and generated a record $18,117,072 gate with 72,300 attendees at AT&T Stadium – the highest-grossing combat sports event in U.S. history outside of Las Vegas. Beyond the ring, Paul has built an expansive business empire, co-founding Betr, a disruptive sports gaming and media company, W, a record-breaking men’s personal care line, and Anti Fund, a venture capital firm. He has also partnered with Dog Haus and is set to open 25 franchise locations.
